Decisions, decisions

Goodness it's been a busy month, but productive. One of my BF's came over for a Fearless blonde quilting lesson. She is a superb hand quilter, but has not really taken the time to learn any machine quilting. Happy to say, I think she went out the door a Fearless Blonde machine quilter and if she takes to machine quilting like she did hand quilting OMG look out!

Wednesday I had a small group over for lunch to chat and giggle and celebrate a birthday. Ellen turned...... well I'll never tell. Anyway, take a look at this adorable little cake! It was as good as it looks. Happy birthday Ellen!

While my friends were here, I started getting opinions on.....paint colors.Oh yes, that HUGE decision. We wallpapered our kitchen years ago and after the paper was up we didn't like it. Oh well. So now we are finally going to tear it off and paint!I picked up a few paint chips the other day. I want some color this time and thought the aqua's go nicely with the wheat yellow counter tops and the terracotta floor tiles. When I get a chance I will pick up a couple of sample jars and paint some larger "chips".

I figured it would be a good indoor project for hubby & me since it's so hot and steamy outside.I'll probably go through another stack of paint chips before I decide, hmmmmmmm, what do you think?

I have also been working away at my migration piece. LOL.It's about ready to be quilted, I just need to decide on some placement issues, hmmmmmmmmm.Decisions, decisions.

Welcome to my blog

If this is your first visit to my blog, or a return visit, thank you for spending some time here. This is my blog written by me, no ghost authors here but I'm sure that is evident as my grammar will not pass muster with any English majors (or minors for that matter) but I will do my best to share interesting and even mundane aspects of my life as a quilter and quilt pattern designer. Into that mix I will be adding my attempts at gardening, being organized - HA , boosting creativity, and other everyday happenings. I should warn you in advance - I am a recovering procrastinator! So don't expect me to post daily, (won't happen) but I will try to surprise you with frequent postings.

About Me

My life as a quilt designer and optimistic pollyanna, revolves around my husband, home, family, friends, faith and of course quilts. Though the order may change from time to time as it does in everyone's life, the importance of them all, does not.
